There is a conflict between the state government and the doctors in the rape-murder case of a junior doctor in RG Kar Medical College of West Bengal. Actually, doctors are continuously agitating for security and other demands. However, due to lack of response from the government in some cases and rejection of other demands, the doctors have continued the protest. Meanwhile, junior doctors have said that they will attend the meeting with the Bengal government on Monday regarding their demands, but the decision on the hunger strike will be taken only after the results of this meeting.
